STAGE DESCRIPTION:

From Piazza Gramsci, the finish of Stage 1 Montane and the starting point of this stage, proceed along Via Vittorio Emanuele heading northwest, which is the urban section of SS126.

Exit the built-up area and, after passing the first left turn, at the second junction take the road towards Fighezia, which you follow for about 7.8 km until you reach the junction near the Hotel Golfo del Leone building, now known as the Posada di Portixeddu of the Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara. Turning left here connects you with the route of the stage from Buggerru to Pitzinurri.

From this point onward, the route description is the same as previously detailed; the same route variants described for Stage 02 from Buggerru to Pitzinurri are also possible in this case.
